The Joe Brown Shops (Est 1966) and The Climbers Shop (Est 1959)

With over 100 years of retail heritage our shops are incredibly proud to offer a huge choice of clothing and equipment for climbers, mountaineers, hillwalkers and trail runners. Our story was begun by pioneers back in the days when hemp ropes were all the rage. Today, our team are equally passionate about sharing their experience of the products we stock so you don’t have to experience the hard lessons they have already learned.

Description

Sometimes placements are tricky. Different crags throw up shallow cracks, off-width cracks, old peg scars, all of which are hard to protect with conventional nuts. DMM Peenuts offer an excellent alternative, they have a tapered profile allowing them to fit where a regular wire won't seat.

We're not going to say that DMM Peenuts will sit in all those places where you can't get regular wires to fit, but they might. Or maybe that dodgy micro wire placement, will actually be a decent wire placement with a DMM Peenut in it.

The main benefit of the DMM Peenuts, is that they are different. This isn't always a good thing. Sometimes sticking to the status quo is useful, but wouldn't it be worth having a set of these hanging from your rack, just in case the status quo doesn't come up trumps?
The old HB Alloy offsets, and the smaller brass partners were very popular, because they weren't shaped like regular wires. They were something totally crazy. But they worked! And a lot of people are beginning to discover the joys of these micro wires, because they also "just work".

Part of the nature of small gear, is that it isn't incredibly strong. There's just not enough material. The size 1 DMM Peenut, is rated at 4kN. That's probably enough to take a bit of a fall, but not a lot more. Sizes 2 and 3 are better at 5kN, and by the time you get to 4 and 5 you're looking at 8kN. Sense must therefore prevail. If you can place a couple of tiny wires, then do. It will be better for you, than trusting a single piece. If you can use screamer tapes, then do that too. Just a couple of ideas for keeping you off the floor.

Buyers Guide

Micro Protection for small cracks:

As climbs become harder, the need to make the most of all available protection increases. Micro protection lets you protect cracks which normal sized pieces would not fit. Having these wires on your rack gives you more options.

Asymmetrical taper gives stable placements in offset cracks:

Nuts with an offset taper protect cracks where normal nuts would not sit properly, such as flared cracks and peg scars. Use in combination with normal nuts to find security in almost any crack.

Large surface area effectively dissipates force:

These nuts have large surface areas that spread forces in a fall across a greater area, increasing placement security in fragile rock. They increase security on routes where fragile rock may be encountered.

Colour coded for easy identification:

The DMM protection range is colour coded for quick and easy size selection. Colours are co-ordinated across passive and active protection, for quick selection of alternatives if your first choice doesn't fit.

Passive protection works in wet and icy conditions:

Passive protection works by jamming in constrictions to prevent falls. It is suitable for use in all conditions. Unlike active protection such as cams, passive protection can be used in wet or icy cracks, where friction is reduced.
